Two days of not being home much means not a whole lot to report re the latest landscape. I've highlighted some of the grass area and added the small clump of bulrushes and put a bit more detail into the pine tree. Kinda yawn-worthy but for lack of anything better to show you, this is it....
- I don't dare try THIS in an apartment (the neighbours would probably have a fit!) but some of you might like to give it a try.
- THIS would be fun to make and useful too.
- If you're a gardener (or even if you're not!) making one of THESE would be fun to try.
- And....because this is a full-service blog....how about THIS?
- THIS looks like a great tote bag design.
Today the quote is from Maya Angelou..."Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better"
I think just those little changes makes quite a difference...it's really looking good...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks Julierose - it takes a long time to contemplate any additions before I actually try adding them.
DeleteThe plant pounding would probably work in the parking lot!
ReplyDeleteNow there's a thought! Unfortunately I don't have access to any flowers to use and crawling around on the pavement isn't my idea of fun any more (not that it ever was!)
DeleteI just noticed today the hill on the right. lol
ReplyDeleteI do embiggen the photos. The bullrushes brought my eye up to the hill via the birch tree. Very nice
I thought the river 'needed' some bullrushes - of course, maybe it didn't - but they're there now!
DeleteWhile you say yawn worth, I'm sure while people get to look at these details up close and personal, their mouths will be open for another "aw" reason.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy - I'm narrowing in on the end of this one I think. Maybe tomorrow will finish it, unless I decide to add more details!
DeleteSherry of createology: Your landscape is coming along nicely. It is the smallest detail that really adds to the scene. Great links as always dear. Maya Angelou is always so correct in her words of wisdom. Happy weekend my friend.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you too! Sometimes I don't know when to stop adding little details (my crazy quilting background coming to play methinks).
DeleteI really like the addition of the bullrushes/or as we call them here on the prairies cat tails. The landscape is coming along so nicely.
ReplyDeleteLooking at those links, I really wish I knew how to crochet.
God bless.
We call them cattails too but not everybody knows them by that name. Nice to know it's not just a local 'thing'.
DeleteI love to see cattails, and it's becoming increasingly rare here because they get pushed out of their habitat by a non-native and highly invasive species of phragmites (Phragmites australis). I've watched it happen in my lifetime, and it makes me sad. The native phragmites had a place in our wetland ecosystem; this non-native is a different story.
ReplyDeleteI had to ask Mr. Google to see what phragmites is and yes, it's here too. I think, if memory serves me, cattails are useful for many things and one wonders if the invasive species serves any purpose beyond taking over.
DeleteI was thinking about trying to clean one of my silver necklaces the other day and hadn't gotten around to looking up the method in the link - thanks for the timely share.
ReplyDeleteOh good! Nice to know there's something here you can use.
